Karcag

Everything public data tells about this settlement: whether it has a doctor, how far care is, whether a bus gets there, and where it stands in the national ranking.

How do people live here?

Income, work, births and deaths, moving away — the settlement beside its járás, its county and the median Hungarian settlement. These are the reasons a district is hard to fill, and the reasons people here die sooner.

What to expect here in a year?

92%

GP care

92% chance that in 12 months at least one of the 13 districts serving this settlement is vacant; 1 are vacant today.

13%

Dental care

13% chance that in 12 months at least one of the 5 districts serving this settlement is vacant.

A forecast, not a prophecy: from the past risk of filled districts and the past refill pace of vacant ones. It is about the settlement, never about a particular doctor.

Karcagi járás a year from now

7.5GP districts expected vacant in 12 months; 7 of 28 today

now7
in 12 months 7.5

Expected: 1.1 districts falling vacant and 0.5 filled; the 90% band is 5.6–9.5. A forecast, not a promise: from the past risk of filled districts and the past refill pace of vacant ones.

Avoidable mortality in Karcagi járás: 597 per 100,000 (2024); the rural median is 450.

This is a járás figure: NNGYK publishes no settlement-level avoidable mortality, because so few deaths cannot give a reliable rate. The járás's health data →

In a small settlement a few births or moves shift the rate a lot, so the vital statistics are four-year averages; for the smallest villages they still need reading with care.

Sources: KSH TIMEA (income from NAV data), KSH 2022 census, NFSZ settlement data, NNGYK mortality database, NEAK grant winners and monthly data; the forecast is our own calculation.

What is vacant

Vacant is not the same as unserved: substitution does not show in public data.

Can you get there by bus?

126 departures on the reference day
70 settlements reachable without a change
✓ GP Karcag
✓ on-call Karcag
✓ hospital Karcag

On an average Wednesday there are 126 scheduled departures from the settlement, and 70 other settlements can be reached directly.

Trains are not in the data: MÁV's timetable is available only after registration. “No direct bus” does not mean there is no way to get there.

Composite care-risk index ?A weighted mean of eight public measures, each turned into a national percentile: vacancy, driving time to the GP, the dentist, the on-call service, outpatient and inpatient care, bus access, age structure, the risk forecast and the beneficiary-settlement status. 100 is the worst-placed settlement, not one without care.

37.8

0 — the best-placed settlement100 — the worst

Karcag ranks 2,451 of 3,177 settlements — better placed than 22.9% of the country.

37.8

low risk

Ranked 2,451 highest of the country's 3,177 settlements on the composite care-risk index.

Where does this settlement stand?

The index is a weighted mean of eight public measures, from national percentiles. A comparison, not a verdict: a high value means several measures point the same way — not that there is no care. The method in detail.

What changed in a year?

Compared with the 2025-12 snapshot from our own archive.

We compare only what every month has data for: vacant and dissolved districts and changes of doctor. Driving times, bus access and the pharmacy network are not available back in time, so no change is claimed for them. At county level, turnover shows how often doctors change.
